Features

• API Development Platforms - Offers a unified platform for API design, environment management, and test cases with a plugin-based architecture for extensibility.
• API Design Tools - An integrated platform for defining technical requirements and data schemas to align development teams on API behavior.
• Environment Variable Managers - Provides a manager for defining and switching between global variables for different server configurations.
• REST API Clients - Includes a REST API client for sending network requests and verifying that responses meet functional requirements.
• API Response Simulators - Ships a simulator that returns predefined data sets in place of live server responses to decouple development cycles.
• API Specification Definitions - Provides a system for defining technical requirements and data schemas to ensure consistency across project interfaces.
• API Endpoint Testing - Includes a tool for sending live HTTP requests to verify that returned data matches functional requirements.
• Request Testing - Provides a REST API client for sending requests and validating that the returned data matches functional requirements.
• Schema-Driven Mocking - Generates simulated server responses automatically based on predefined data structures and technical interface specifications.
• API Documentation Tools - Provides tools for generating and managing standardized API documentation and schema definitions to share usage details.
• API Mocking Servers - Ships a mock server that simulates backend responses to decouple frontend and backend development.
• Response Validation - Implements a validation engine to compare live network output against expected functional requirements.
• API Project Collaboration - Enables sharing of API definitions and test cases among team members for coordinated development.
• Development Environment Extensions - Integrates third-party plugins to add custom features and tools into a unified API development environment.
• Environment Variable Management - Provides a system for managing global and environment-specific variables to switch between development, staging, and production.
• Shared Repositories - Maintains a shared repository of interface specifications and test cases to synchronize development efforts across teams.
• Environment Variable Injection - Implements dynamic injection of request parameters and headers based on the active deployment configuration.
• Third-Party Plugins - Provides a framework for integrating third-party plugins to extend the development environment's capabilities.
• Modular Plugin Architectures - Uses a modular architecture that separates core API management from optional plugins to keep the installation lightweight.
• Plugin-Based Extensibility - Provides a plugin-based system for adding custom features and tools by loading external modules into the runtime.
• Api 网关项目 - Listed in the “Api 网关项目” section of the Great Open Source Project awesome list.
